The Best Gift for Kids Who Have Everything

Of course, all kids love gifts. But some kids will feel the most loved when they are given meaningful gifts from their parents. Those kids speak the love language of receiving gifts. If this is your child, you can give them the best gift for kids who have everything by following these steps.

The Best Gift for Kids Who Have Everything

Giving a child a physical gift is a powerful expression of love that can extend into later years. It will stay with the child long past the occasion that you gave it to them for. Speaking their language with the goal of showing them your love is the best gift you can give them.

Tips To Speaking the Gifts Love Language for Kids

Speak other languages too

It is important to not only speak the love language of gifts to your child. It has to be spoken with the other languages in order to let your child know that you are genuine and heartfelt in your love for them. If you only give them gifts to express your love, they will begin to think that you are just trying to buy their cooperation and affection.

Make sure to use as many other love languages with your child as well so that they not only know you love them, but they learn how to give and receive love as well.

If a child is not enjoying gifts that you are giving them, you may need to communicate your love in other ways more often. A sign of this may be ignoring or attempting to dispose of a gift that they would usually be interested in.

Don’t give gifts in place of emotional involvement

Just because you give your child a gift, it does not mean you can be removed from your child’s life. All parents are busy and may miss things. That is just a part of life. But thinking that choosing other things in place of being with your child and giving them an item will fix it is not going to be helpful.

Try to do your best and make it to any sporting events, recitals, or ceremonies that your child is a part of. Don’t be hard on yourself if you have to miss some. Just realize that you should make efforts to attend rather than replace it with the easier option of giving gifts to make up for missing it.

Know what a gift is

Make sure you understand that anything you give to your child that is solely for their benefit is a type of gift. You can take advantage of that and use it to show your love.

Explain to your child that when Daddy has to go away for business it is because he is working hard to take care of you all and make sure that you have everything you need. It is because he loves you all. By explaining it in this way, your child will be able to understand that Daddy would rather be here with me, but he has to go sometimes so that we can have what we need. He does it for me.

You can apply this thinking to your child’s life in a way that helps them to understand that they should be thankful, but also that you make sure they have everything they need because you love them.

It is important not to make them feel guilty for you having to provide for them. But rather to help them understand that you do so because you love them.

Make gift giving occasions special

Birthdays and holidays should all be a big deal for your child. But for a child who speaks the receiving gifts love language, you want to make it very special.

Make sure to wrap every gift or present it in a special way. Allow the entire experience to be a part of the gift. Give them your undivided attention and encouragement. And after they have been given the gift, allow them to display it prominently and tell others about it.

So What Is The Best Gift For Kids Who Have Everything?

In case you don’t know yet, I will say it VERY clearly.

The best gift you can give a child who has everything is a well thought out gift that aligns with your child’s interests. But this is the important part. Your presence and involvement in the gift giving is crucial. You need to be there and give your full attention. Because by doing that, you are including other love languages in the experience so that you can love your child to the best of your ability.
